Specimens
| Type Material | Holotype (NMNS 7999-001) and 4 paratypes (1 worm [NMNS 7999-005] and 3 detached dehisced proglottids [NMNS 7999-002–7999-004]); 1 paratype (1 worm [NMMB PL000001]); 7 paratypes (3 worms [USNM 1480607–1480609], 1 detached mature proglottid [USNM 1480603], 3 detached dehisced proglottids [USNM 1480604–1480606]); 12 paratypes (5 worms [LRP 9940–9944], 3 detached dehisced proglottids [LRP 9945–9947], 1 lactophenol cocoon mount [LRP 9948], 3 SEM vouchers [LRP 9949–9951]); specimens prepared for SEM retained with JNC at the University of Connecticut. Hologenophores of 2 worms and photographic voucher of 1 proglottid for which 28S rDNA (D1–D3) sequence data were generated are deposited in the LRP (9952, 9953, and 9939, respectively). |
|---|---|
| Total Number of Type Specimens | 11 worms, 1 detached mature proglottid, 9 detached dehisced proglottids, 1 lactophenol preparation of cocoons, and 1 worm, 3 scolices, and 3 detached proglottids observed with SEM |
